Dear Parents and Families,
The Mary Immaculate ship has set sail for another school year and we are happy your family is aboard. Thank you for helping get the school year off to such a smooth start!
Below are some important bits of information.
First School Mass of the Year
Our school Mass is each Friday at 8:15 in St. Mary Star of the Sea Church with our first Mass of the year being this Friday, August 26th. Please know that you are invited to attend any and all Masses with your child. Please watch the monthly calendar for special Masses or changes to this schedule.
Family Lunches on Fridays
Each Friday you are welcome to join your child for lunch. Bring a lunch and meet your child at their lunch area. Please do not deliver lunches on other days. The hot lunch program will be starting soon. Information will be forthcoming from the Parent Coordinator, Shannon Musmanno.
Snack Room Now Open
The snack room is open each day from 11:30 to 12:30. The Zurheide Family supplies and organizes the snack room. We need a parent volunteer for each day from 11:30 to 12:30. Call Ms. Cindy at 294-1031 to sign up. This is a great way to get your 20 volunteer hours.
Parent Handbook Online
Each parent is required to sign a form stating that they have read and acknowledge the policies provided in the school handbook. The 2011-12 MISS School Handbook handbook is located in the “Documents” section on our website – www.maryimmaculatekeywest.com. Please refer to it frequently.
Teacherweb.com
This is a very valuable tool for the success of your child. Teachers post announcements concerning upcoming events but more importantly, teachers post homework assignments. If your child misses school, please check the website for assignments. Go to: www.maryimmaculatekeywest.com and click on TeacherWeb.
After Care Program
The cost for after school care is $3.00 per hour or any part of an hour. Please be sure to pay for each week’s care on Friday. Thank you.
Pick Up, Dismissal on Rainy Days
Classrooms open at 7:45 a.m. Students and parents, please wait until 7:45 a.m. to go to your classes.
Pick Up is in the back parking lot. Students must be picked up by 3:00 p.m. or they will be sent to the after school care program.
Rainy day pick up is in the front of school.
In the case of an approaching hurricane, we follow Monroe County Schools’ announcements.
The Gift Shop
Our gift shop, located behind St. Mary Star of the Sea Church, is our biggest fundraising venue. All profits are donated to support the school. Liz Buchman runs the gift shop and could use your help. It has been COMPLETELY renovated.
If you can help out a few hours a week, call Liz at 1-425-802-3268.
“A hundred years from now it will not matter what my bank account was, the sort of house I lived in, or the kind of car I drove but the world may be different because I was important in the life of a child.”
We, the teachers of your children, thank you for allowing us to be important in their lives of your children. We are dedicated to providing the best faith-filled Christ-centered education possible.
Gracefully yours,
Beth Harris and Crew
